Pros

AutoNation is not for everyone but most of my experience with AutoNation was rewarding and fulfilling. Personally speaking my compensation was market competitive. Most people that have complained about their pay that worked for the company were not movers and shakers in my opinion. Those that worked hard and brought something to the table were rewarded. Overall, this is a good company that could be a great company once again.

Cons

Politics. Additionally, corporate executive teams forget their automotive roots. Most of them are there because of their automotive retail experience. They forget how challenging it can be to work in the store and require over reporting to satisfy share holders.

Pros

The department is work from home.

Cons

They do not provide any equipment/laptops and make you pay for your own virus protection. Extreme micromanagement leaves employees with little autonomy and creates unnecessary stress. Frequent layoffs and high turnover. Inconsistent scheduling and long hours, including recurring 10-14 hour days yet ending the week with no overtime. Employees are blamed for slow business conditions they cannot control. Unpaid on-call expectations when the work load is low. Low compensation relative to workload. Management often complains about having to answer employee questions, creating an environment where people feel discouraged from seeking guidance or clarification. Employees are treated as replaceable rather than valued contributors.
